THE

THE 



SECOND 



Phonographic Reader. 



BY 



BENN PITMAN and JEROME B. HOWARD.

Op 



CINCINNATI : 
PHONOGRAPHIC INSTITUTE, 






V 



The student who has mastered the principles of the Reporting 
Style of Phonography and so much of its practice as is given in the 
Manual from page 134 to the end of the book, will be able to read 
the following exercises with but little difficulty. When a key. is 
needed, however, it may be found by referring to McGuffey^s Fifth 
Reader at the page indicated by the small figure printed under the 
title of each selection given herein. Each selection should first be 
read, then carefully copied, and finally it should be written from 
the text in the Fifth Reader and the resulting notes compared with 
the engraved pages of this book. Should the comparison show 
that errors and inaccuracies abound, they should be carefully 
noted and the work done over again until they are eliminated. 

The degree of abbreviation with which the following pages are 
written is termed, for the sake of convenient distinction, the "Easy 
Reporting Style." For many whose use of Phonography will be 
limited to its employment as a means of note-taking, preparation of 
manuscripts, and many other purposes for which ordinary longhand 
script is usually employed, it will not be necessary to acquire a 
briefer mode of writing ; but such as intend to employ Phonography 
for verbatim reporting, or who wish to become skillful amanuenses, 
are referred to the Reporter's Companion for the complete develop- 
ment of the wonderful possibilities of the art in this direction.

The Manual of Phonography. By Benn Pitman and Jerome 
B. Howard. This work is designed for self-instruction in the 
Phonographic art, and is the proper book for the beginner, It 
contains a complete exposition of the system from its simplest 
^principles to the Reporting Style, arranged in alternate and op- 
posite pages of explanation and phonographic exercises. Every 
principle is copiously illustrated with engraved examples for read- 
ing, and exercises in the ordinary type for writing practice. A 
large number of pages of engraved reading matter are appended 

to the book. Boards.................. ........<,.. ......00....,$ 80

It speaks well for the completeness and satisfactory features of Pitman's sys- 
tem of Phonography that, after thirty years, the author's "Manual" appeari 
In a revised edition with comparatively few changes, and still recognized as r 
standard text-book of shorthand writing Where the present edition differs 
from the preceding edition is in points approved by the experience of the best 
reporters and phoneticians. — Boston "Advertiser." 

It has been the standard text-book in America, The present edition contains 
many improvements, and is quite abrf t of -phonographic progress. . • .. 
The subject has been logically developed, following phonetic principles and in- 
troducing as little empiricism as possible. . „ „ The volume is compact and 
well made, the phonographic characters being particularly clear and intelligi- 
ble. — Scientific American. 

The very best book for studying this useful accomplishment. Every thing is 
made as plain as simple language can_mak° it, and there is no one who can not 
learn shorthand from its pages who is possessed of ordinary capacity and who 
is willing to show some application. — Pkiu- .Iphia "Saturday Evening Post!' 

It has the merit of simplicity, which many of the other systems lack, and the 
phonographic exercises are beautifully printed — San Francisco "Chronicle" 

This is the best work there is with which to acquire a knowledge of short- 
hand, whether for class or private students, — New Orleans " States." 

It is in the power of any intelligent person to learn Phonography by a care- 
ful study of this work. — Kansas City "Times." 

The simplest and best of the innumerable hand-books on shorthand writing 
in the market. — Boston " Transcript." 

The reader will find this a standard authority on the subject. — Si. Paul ei Pio 
neer Press!' 

The standard text-book of Phonography in America. — Troy [N. Y) "Tiwes** 

The best work of the kind extant, — Indianapolis "Journal" 

A very complete little hand-book — Philadelphia "Times" 

The standard text-book for students, — Toledo "Blade." 

The Phonographic Reader. By Benn Pitman and Jerome B. 
Howard. This work is designed as a companion to the Manual 
and affords the necessary reading practice in the Corresponding 
Style. The selections are taken (by permission) from McGuffey's 
Fifth Reader, which may be used as a Key. Paper. r.. .,.<,...,. 25 

The Phonographic Copy-Book. Made of double-ruled paper, such 
as is used by most Reporters, but with the lines wider apart for

niable, assisting him, as it does, to acquire a neat and uniform 

style of writing. Paper, 15c, postpaid 17

edge of this time and labor-saving art may be acquired by any

The Reporters Companion. By Benn Pitman. A Guide to 
Verbatim Reporting; for Professional Reporters and those who 
desire to become such. This work takes up the Corresponding 
Style, and, without a perceptible break, conducts the student to 
the briefest Phonography necessary for reporting the most rapid 
speakers. The book is arranged in easy, progressive style, en- 
tirely adapted for self-instruction. It contains abundant reading 
matter for practice in the Reporting Style, with a Key, and a Vo- 
cabulary of several thousand words in the ordinary type, with 
their Phonographic outlines engraved in the Reporting Style. 

Thousands of Reporters have acquired their ability to write 
verbatim with no other instruction than that afforded by this and 

the preceding set of books. Boards 1 00

30,000 words ; embracing every useful word in the language, and

tific, and Technical terms, etc., fully engraved with parallel Key 
in the ordinary type.

raphy ever published, which will fully meet the wants of the stu- 
dent and practical reporter. Specimen pages sent to any address 

on application. Extra cloth, gilt top.. 2 50 

Half morocco , 3 00 

The reputation of the authors and the completeness and popularity of Mr. 
Pitman's books upon Phonography make the work of the reviewer light. It is 
sufficient to say that they are the best authority within the reach of the stu- 
dent. — Toledo "Blade." 

It is not saying too much to claim for this volume that it will be of greater 
use than any other similar publication. . . . It is exhaustive and contains all 
the best devices that experienced writers have found of use. — N. Y. " World." 

This book supplies a want long felt in the phonographic world, and especially 
to the followers of the Pitman system of phonography, which system is most 
generally used in the United States. — Richmond (Va.) "Christian Advocate." 

It is a work which has been awaited with much eagerness by phonographers, 
and they will not be disappointed in its contents or typographical appearance. — 
Cincinnati " Commercial." 

The Dictionary has long been needed by those using Benn Pitman's phono- 
graphic text-books, and will prove to them a great convenience. — New York 
"Christian Advocate." 

The completeness of the book is surprising. We have looked it over care- 
fully and are delighted with it. — Express Gazette.
